you can read the quotes for the delegations from virginia, florida, mississippi, and alabama. it is very clear that they were targeting african-americans and tried to keep them from voting right alongside poll taxes, literacy tests, and anything else that the voting rights act has eliminated. these remain on the books. there is a massive disenfranchisement of committees of colors. these disenfranchise entire communities. if part of a family cannot vote, the family cannot vote. the children will not vote. it is not surprising that these are rooted in jim crow in the southern states. even in the states that are considered a beacon of norman -- of northern freedom, they are also rooted in discriminatory laws. we went to the new york historical society. we went to the legislative libraries in albany. we did research around the country to find out where this law came from here in new york. it turns out that when you go back to look at the state constitutional conventions and the old constitution which are actually pretty fun to read, it turns out that new york was the only state in
